FISH AND THE STARTING AT SPONSORED TWO BIG GAMES ' Case-Wheel- act. er Declaring against any project with a doubt ful water supply, Mr. Peterson stressed the importance of getting the release of the report on the bureau of reclamation survey recently made on the Blue Bench project. A man has been oppoint ed in the reclamation office to complete this report, he said, and it will be made available as soon as possible. Report Delays Quoting from a letter he had received from E. G. Nielsen, bureau of reclamation engineer, Mr. Peterson said two reasons were given for the delay of this report; first, that E. O. Larsen, engineer in charge of the investigation had been put in oharge of the Deer creek project, and second, a lack of pressure for the project and the fact that it presented an econo- mical poblem. Three Plans Listed Three plans are possible for the Blue Bench, the letter said. The first of these is reconstruction of the Knight canal along its present route, Irrigating some five or six thousand acres on the Blue Bench. A second plan, lower in cost, would divert water from Rock creek approximately a half-mil- e above the Knight headgate, eliminate much of the costly construction of the Knight canal flumes and siphons and would irrigate, ut 11,000 District Indebtedness Refunding Of water pass and would irrigate the 12.000 to 13,000 acres on the Blue Bench.

Discuss Insurance F. L. Maxwell met with the board, submitting further information on a blanket fire insurance policy to cover all buildings in the district, and cn a proposal to rewrite all insurance on a scheduled insurance basis. No action was taken on this matter, though the board expressed a definite desire to follow one of the two methods. Investigation of this business had started at the regular meeting last month, when several insurance agents met with the hoard. A request from the Myton ward of the L. D.

Trade School House On report of the Superintendent that 28,000 feet of lumber had been delivered in accord with a previous agreement, a deed wa3 authorized by the board, transferring the Montwel school house to the Montwel L. D. S. ward in exchange for the lumber. Superintendent Bond reported that the well at Altamont had been dug to a depth of 42 feet, and that water at that level had halted work until a pump sufficient to remove the water could be obtained. The water in the well is one and a half feet deep, he reported, and the school is now using it. Authorization was given to the purchase of $250 worth of books for the Roosevelt high school libasis with the brary on a 0 school. A request for prices on the now unused light plant installed at Altamont before the power lines were erected, was received and the board set a price of $500 on the plant. . 50-5- expansion of cooperative medical and dental care. Destiny In Grass Roots Mr. Gurr said Land use is one of the most important problems confronting us today, and explained Chat proper land use includes all lands, and means forest ind grazing as well as agricultural lands. Our destiny is bound up in the grass roots, he declared. Commenting on the Blue Bench project, he said Development of the lakes in the Granddaddy region. needs careful study and analyzing from all angles, adding that their development value might be greater than their purely scenic and recreational value. The forests have both a recreational and a grazing value, he said, adding that "we have to retrench to rehabilitate the grazing resource back to what it once was. "The forest service, to the greatest extent we can, wants to fit in with the planning board and work out problems to the best advantage of all, he said In closing. Vocal Selections An interlude in the afternoon program was provided by three vocal selections by Max menden-hal- l cf Roosevelt. A note of encouragement was injected into the agricultural picture by Mr. Owens, who compared our resources with those of the European countries, even in the pre-wperiod, Too often we lament about the things we dont have and dont stop to appreciate the things we do have, he said. The farmer is a lot better off than .the man working for $18 or $20 in the city. Mr Owens explained the duties and aims of the county agent, saying that he is actually a member of the agricultural college faculty, but that his class room is the entire county and his students the farmers. He urged all the farmers and stockralsers to use the county agents services and follow his advice, Mrs. Davidson spoke on the woman's place in the planning program, advocating that men and women look 'at planning as a joint She advocated better problem. buying methods, the decrying great piles of tin cans to be found behind most of the farm homes. She explained details of the FSA mattress program soon to be started in the county. Cites Hanning Growth Professor Hogenson remarked over the growth and Improvement of the county planning organization since its inception only a short time ago.

He pointed out that the first step in solving such a problem is an inventory of resources, and pointed to the soil classification maps made cf the county through the as extension service cooperation part of this inventory. These maps, he explained, showed the Blue Bench as the greatest undeveloped resource in the county. It is 'a mistake of the government that such a soil classification wa3 not made before the Basin was opened to homesteading, he pointed out, saying, We should have done this planning 45 years I want to compliment you ago cn the courageous way you are doing it now.

High Farm Debt Director Peterson brought the meetig to a close, with a Summary of the topics discussed, and general comments on farm management. He Warned against the rising debt, stating that a January 1, 1941 report from the department of commerce listed the total Utah farm debt 'at $111,510,820. He said that borrowing for increased capital to increase earning power was fine, but warned borrowing for pleasure, and said that too much is spent on cars and their operation. He spoke of the county agents proposal to establish several demonstration farms in the county and warned that it entailed much work and detail, but promised much good from the project. When a show of hands showed much favor to the project, he said, "If the planning board will go on with it, the college will do all it can for the project." Urge Follow-u- p In closing, he urged an energet-I- t follow-u- p on the Blue Bench project, offering it as a major solution ten county problems.
